"Good. Spencer, you're hired. After enjoying your day, I want you to pack your things and come to to the Istarin Empire." Spencer nodded his head in agreement.
"Alright, Spencer I am afraid I can't spend any more time with you. I have to be with Noah. I will talk to you later."
"Alright, your Majesty." As Aditya stood up, Spencer offered him a bow.
Aditya was very satisfied with Spencer. Spencer had everything that he wanted his prime minister to have. At the beginning stage, spencer can slowly learn from Watson and take over. Given spencer's amazing memory, in a few months, he would be able to take over Watson's position and would be able to manage everything on his own. This would also allow Aditya to focus on other important stuff.
After leaving Spencer, Aditya returned to Noah's bedroom.

Opening the door, he found Olivia and Norah in Noah's room. "Aditya, where have you been?" Grandma Olivia asked.
"I went to meet a certain person who soon will be working for me." Olivia nodded and did not ask any more question.
"Noah, are you ready?"
"Yes."
"I can't believe my son is already getting married. Just yesterday, I was holding you in my arms and feeding you milk." Norah was a little emotional. She can't believe time passed this quickly. Noah grew up so quickly.
"Norah, soon you will be playing with your grandchild." Grandma Olivia looked very happy today.
"Grandma, where are Alicia and the others?"
"I believe Alicia and the other girls are still getting ready." Hearing this Aditya couldn't help but sigh. He got ready around 3 hours ago. When he went to check on the girls, they didn't allow him to enter saying that they were still getting ready.
'Just how long are they going to take?'

"Lady Sylvie, you look pulchritudinous as ever. I believe you have been in good health." Sylvie who was enjoying herself was approached by one of the nobles. After Alicia, Sylvie is the second most approached woman in the entire Ethereal empire. The fact that Sylvie is a 5th-order cultivator itself tempted many nobles to ask her hand in marriage. As marrying her would instantly make them powerful.
Even if the nobles ignored her cultivation powers, as the guild leader of the White Lotus guild, the power and influence that Sylvie held were enough to tempt every male to try asking her hand in marriage. Sylvie was also very beautiful and very charming. Unfortunately, Sylvie always rejected all of those offers as she realized that those men chased her because of her power and influence.
Turning her head to the right, Sylvie found a handsome young man with blond hair walking in her direction with two glasses of wine in his hand. The second wine glass is most likely for Sylvie. "Sir Jason, it's very nice to visually perceive you again. Thank you for the compliment. Albeit I have been a little distressed by the recent events, everything going well for me. What about you?"
Jason was a middle age man with 2 wives. Jason was a powerful beginner 3rd-order cultivator. He was 38 years old. Despite his gentle looks, it wasn't a secret that Jason was the type of man who has slept with every single woman in his castle including all the maids, and the female soldiers. Sylvie even heard that Jason likes to sleep with at least one virgin woman every week. Although she is not sure if these bizarre rumors are true.
"As you can optically discern I am still recuperating from the recent events. I am fixating on invigorating the bulwark of my territory. I don't optate my territory to fall if in case something like that transpires again. By the way, Lady Sylvie, there are certain things that I would relish discussing with you in private. Would you mind giving me some of your time?" Sylvie knew very well that his man was trying to get close to her. Jason has been chasing Sylvie for a while now. Normally Sylvie avoids this man but time after time this man was crossing his limits.
"Sir Jason, I recently aurally perceived that one of your wives is expecting a twin. I believe you should spend more of your time with your family." Sylvie indirectly rejected Jason's offer while also reminding him that he has two wives and currently one of his wives is going to give birth to his child. Instead of trying to get close to her, he would focus more on his family.
"Now if you would exculpate me. I have to greet the other guests." Without giving Jason any chance of saying anything, Sylvie walked away. Seeing Sylvie leave, Jason felt quite angry. In a matter of a few seconds, he quickly calmed his anger and went back to his gentlemanly persona.
Sylvie hated attending this kind of party. In these kinds of places, most nobles would wear a mask of being gentlemen or gentlewomen. Everyone would act as if they are very high-class people. These kinds of events always left her exhausted. Sylvie wouldn't have come here if it wasn't for Noah's wedding. Most of the time, Sylvie always avoids parties as these events always would leave her mental energy drained.
On the side, after meeting with Aditya, Spencer was extremely satisfied and very happy. When he returned he was questioned by his father. "Spencer, where have you been?" Newman who was Spencer's father.
The smile on Spencer's face instantly disappeared and was replaced with a deep frown when he met his father. "I went to meet someone." Spencer did not mention who he had gone to meet. Spencer's parents never has been kind to him. Unlike his other siblings, as Spencer wasn't talented in cultivation, Spencer had always been abused by his parents since he was a young man. While many appreciated his talent, his parents were the one few dumb people who couldn't understand what their son was capable of.
"You better not go anywhere. I will use this opportunity for my worthless son a fiance. Just behave." Newman was a strict man. Newman believed that with enough strength one can do anything. This is why he valued cultivation above all. One of the reasons why Newman has bought his son here is to find his son a fiance. Otherwise, Newman would never have bought this worthless son of his here. But little did he know that the son whom he considered worthless was an actually unpolished gem that many wanted.
"Yes, father" Spencer replied in a cold tone. Spencer had no choice but to follow his father to chat with other nobles from the Edrinia Dynasty.

Around 30 minutes later,
The music stopped and all the lights were focused on the stairs. Everyone whatever they were doing and focused their attention on the figures who elegantly walked down the stairs. Everyone's attention was attracted to the beautiful young female who walked behind the Ethereal Emperor. Everyone knew who she was. She was the princess of the Ethereal empire. She is famously known as the goddess of Wealth.
Alicia became the main focus of tonight's event. Everyone, regardless of whether it was children, adult, or elders, all were looking at Alicia. Being stared at by so many people, Alicia did not lose her confidence. She even gently waved at hand at some people whom she knew.
Around a few seconds later, everyone's attention was focused on the male who was wearing a black Kimono and had tied his dark blue hair into a ponytail. The young man had crimson-red pupils and a handsome face. Everyone sensed that despite being so young, the young man was actually Mid 3rd-order cultivator. Some smart nobles managed to guess the identity of this young man. These days it was rumored that the husband of the Princess has been chosen. Some of the soldiers had even seen the princess's fiance walking on the street with the Princess.
After walking down the stairs, Ronny looked at everyone with a small smile on his face. Tonight Ronny was also wearing a black Kimono similar to Aditya's Kimono. It was known that the Osburn family was a traditional family. Most of the time, the royal families liked to wear kimonos or Yukatas.
[Hello! Everyone. I hope you all had a sublime evening. I hope everything has been to your relish.]
Many nobles gently raised the wine glasses in their hands as a form of appreciation.
[Tonight is a very special night for the Osburn royal family. As you all ken that my son who is the Crown prince of the Ethereal imperium is going to espouse the princess of the Edrinia Dynasty. Following the custom and traditions of our royal family, tonight I withal have a very consequential promulgation to make.]
Aditya managed to find Sylvie's Aura among the crowd. She was standing in a corner with a glass of wine in her hand. She was looking at him with a small smile on her face. Both of their eyes met. Both nodded at each other and then looked away. Aditya also sensed Spencer standing with a muscular 6 feet tall middle age man who was probably his father.
[But afore I make the promulgation, let me introduce you to this adolescent man.] Aditya took next to Ronny and looked at the crowd. He felt hundreds of eyes looking at him.
[His denomination is Aditya. He is the Emperor of the Istarin imperium located on the Dying Isle continent. Antecedently Aditya has availed our Ethereal imperium with his potencies. Because of him, we were able to minimize the damage.] Ronny didn't give a clear definition of Aditya's powers as he wanted to leave this part out. Aditya secretly nodded his head in appreciation.
Many nobles widened their eyes in deep shock after learning about Aditya's identity. While people of the nobles didn't even know about the Istarin Empire. But knowing that Aditya was a King, the respect that they had for Aditya increased by several folds.
[My daughter has taken a liking to Aditya. So on this historic day, I announce that the Princess of the Ethereal Empire would be engaged to the Istarin Emperor.] Alicia secretly smiled while lowering her head. But no one saw that smile as her face was still covered under a black veil. The princess wasn't comfortable showing her face to anyone except the people whom she knew very closely.
Even though some nobles already had guessed this, they still couldn't help but feel shocked. This announcement was a huge thing. This meant that the Ethereal Empire had just gained another Empire as their ally. While many noblemen gritted their teeth feeling their hearts burning. Alicia was a dream woman for every noble. She had power, beauty, and talent; everything that a man could ask for.
Clap!!!!!!
Everyone, regardless of whether they were dying of envy or jealousy, clapped their hands. Standing at the corner, Sylvie just smiled and then gulped down the entire glass of red wine. A part of Sylvie felt jealous as her best friend someone who was way younger than her just got engagement and yet she was still single. Thinking of this Sylvie felt depressed.
Another part of her was kind of sad. If only she had met Aditya a little sooner. She definitely would have dated him and eventually would have married him.
'Hehe! Maybe I still have a chance. After all, he already has two wives. Taking one more wouldn't hurt.' Even Sylvie didn't realize how wild her thoughts were. Fortunately, no one knew what the guild leader was thinking.
[Now, without wasting any more time, let's welcome Crown Prince Noah and Princess Lily.]
Really Thank you very much to all those who sends support with valuable golden tickets. I hope we can keep it up!!!
